About

The past is always with us and we are living in the past. This show traces the connections between the 18th and 19th centuries and now. What do Bruce Springsteen and Alfred Lord Tennyson have in common? Why are men always crying in 19c poetry? Does Jane Eyre Tweet? This season, I'll answer these questions and more. So polish your monocle and adjust your feed as you go back to the past today.
